It needs to be 5 games doesnāt it? Not being in Europe means it has to be 5 PL games and the odd League cup one.
Theyāve got Grimsby and Burnley so odds favour back to back wins but they wouldnāt shake his league record. But then itās Man City, Chelsea and Brentford. They donāt win all of them.
Though if Grimsby beat them Iāll laugh so hard that Iāll probably end in the same orbit that Penandes penalty is.

From the BBC:
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim is convinced his side is better off without having a European campaign to distract them this season.
As a consequence of their 15th-placed Premier League finish and Europa League final defeat by Tottenham, United are missing out on Europe for only the second time since English clubs returned to Uefa competition after a five-year ban in 1990.
Itās actually a good thing my wife left me to be with my brother, kept the house, the car and the kids - I now have so much more time to review what went wrong and prepare for the following weekends crushing losses

Hmmm, so it turns out Amorim is related to Giggseh - I never knew that

Probably use the same excuse if Grimsby town beat them on Wednesday.
Seen it trotted out a lot of the time but I really have never seen it play out in reality. No one has ever said at the end of the season, oh Iām glad we arenāt in Europe by not being in Europe weāve been able to qualify for err Europe.

He obviously thinks transfer money grows on trees

Considering their only chance of Europe was winning the Europa and CL itās not even like they would be in the Conference Europa League.
I do buy the āblessingā of no European football for them, to a point. More time for coaching, preparation and recovery, to do as well as they possibly can in the league.
After cutting costs and letting loads of staff go, they still had plenty of money to buy players, and much as I donāt like them, their transfer business seemed fairly sensible.
If such advantageous circumstances do not end in a Europa spot, at least, the fella is another bust for them.

Yup they should be finishing top 8, but I think when you get to Man Utd that kind of excuse runs thin. Pre season doesnāt seem to have much changed them from a team last season with a lot of huff and no end product. Personal may have changed but nothing has much changed in that.
The other issue I have is the whole idea was he was being rigid to his ideas but his ideas look frankly dreadful and they are playing the same football they did last season. Probably that midfield has something to do with it.
Kept this on laptop on repeat.

I see there are reports of Mainoo looking to leave ManU. Perhaps he was not quite the player the likes of Goldbridge were lauding him as? However, I think he is smart to look for the exit at this stage of his career. Best case he was headed toward being another Rashford, and the fact that he is not getting playing time suggests best case wasnāt happening anyway.
ManU is a genuinely terrible place for a talented young player to develop.

This was my Sesko argument.
As much as theyāre both a bunch of cunts, given the current state of affairs and from a purely footballing POV, where would you want to spend your early-20s??
Manchester or Newcastle?
